After signing with Def American, Danzig was asked by Rick Rubin to do a song
for the "Less Than Zero" soundtrack. According to Eerie, "You & Me" was
based on the song "To Sir With Love." It was the first time the Danzig lineup had recorded together and Eerie did not like
the way Rubin wanted the bass played. He gave the bass to George Drakoulias, a
producer. The band was credited as Glenn Danzig And The
Power And Fury Orchestra. The rest of the musicians on the song were
paid session musicians.

For the chimes (song 8), Danzig used his Yamaha DX-7 synthesizer. John
Christ has said in an interview that "I'm The One" was originally recorded for
the first album. Eerie played a faster version of "I'm The One" (possibly the
1988 version) on his telephone hotline in 1996. The "Mother" remixes were done
in 1993 by The Louie Brothers. The live "Mother '93" remix is actually the
studio version with crowd noise added.

Danzig mentioned "The Other Side" in an interview before the Danzig II - Lucifuge album was released. Eerie played
"Cold, Cold Rain," which was not released because Danzig did not like the song,
on his telephone hotline in 1996. For "Her Black Wings" John used the main riff
from Black Sabbath's "Zero The Hero" (off the Born Again album). Danzig has said that "Killer Wolf" is a
modified cover version of an old blues song.

"Livin' Doll" and "Black Rose" were mentioned in interviews as possible
songs for the Danzig III album. According to Danzig,
"Livin' Doll" was a working title for "Left Hand Black" and "Black Rose" was a
magazine Danzig was thinking of starting. He also stated in a different
interview that the band recorded "When Death Had No Name" and "Trouble" at each
recording session up until they were finally released. "Buick Mackane" (erroneously listed
as "Buick Mckane" and "Buick Mckain" in the liner notes of The Lost Tracks Of
Danzig) was originally recorded by T. Rex. "Love
And Pain" is on The Lost Tracks Of Danzig with the title "Pain Is Like An
Animal".

John Christ and Chuck Biscuits recorded this non-Danzig song for the Guitar's Practicing
Musicians Volume III album during a touring break.

"White Devil Rise" has been mentioned
by band members in various interviews. "Pain Is Such A Loving Thing" was played
over Eerie Von's telephone hotline in 1996. Danzig reported that 17 songs were
recorded for this session. The guitar track to "Cantspeak" is actually "Let It
Be Captured" backwards. At the beginning of "Invocation," Danzig can be heard
(backwards) saying "Alright, we're back."

Songs 5c-5f were remixed by J.G. Thirlwell. Song 5g was remixed by Joseph
Bishara. "White Devil Rise" was reportedly re-recorded for Danzig 5 Blackacidevil, but not included because Danzig was
not happy with the way it sounded.

These songs were done for the never-released Bleedangel EP. Songs 2-5 are remixed versions of the
original 08//1995 songs with additional guitar by Tommy Victor. "Deeper" was
remixed by Danzig, "Deeper Still" by Bill Kennedy, and "Deepest" by "French
Eric" Cadieaux. "Serpentia" was remixed by Danzig and Peter Lorimer. According
to an interview with Josh Lazie, the band also covered a Germs (probably "Caught In My Eye") song and two Misfits songs during this session.

"Thirteen" was recorded at A&M Recording Studios and at Big Love
Studios, owned by Peter Lorimer. All other songs were recorded at NRG Studios.
For overdubs, Jeff used a Line 6 Amp Farm plug-in for Pro Tools; this software
allows the user to process the guitar track through amplifier simulators. "Five
Finger Crawl" had a working title of "You Leave Me Cold." Songs 1-6 were mixed
by Orgy pair Jay Gordon and Amir Derakh. Song 11 was mixed by Jay Gordon, Amir
Derakh, Glenn Danzig and Peter Lorimer. Song 7 was mixed by John X, Glenn
Danzig, and Peter Lorimer. Songs 8-10 and 12 were mixed by Cameron Webb, Glenn
Danzig and Peter Lorimer. Songs 1a-4a, and 9a are only available on a 5 song
promotional CD sampler.
